HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwire - February 23, 2009) - Planet Resource Recovery, Inc. (PLANET)
(PINKSHEETS: PRRY), developer, manufacturer and marketer of the
PetroLuxus™ family of green technology products, announced today that
the company's CEO, Mr. Kurt Neubauer, was recently interviewed by Shaun
Polczer of the Calgary Herald. Mr. Polczer interviewed Mr. Neubauer on the
eve of President Barack Obama's first visit to Canada where energy and
economic issues were expected to dominate talks. Primary concerns of the US
are the environmental impact of extracting oil from oil sands and the
resulting greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental menaces of
Canada's "Dirty Oil."

Canada ranks second in terms of global proven crude oil reserves (15 per
cent of world reserves), after Saudi Arabia's 173 billion barrels. Oilsands
production of more than 1.2 million barrels a day accounts for
approximately 42 per cent of Canada's total crude output. Oilsands
producers move enough overburden and oilsands every two days to fill
Toronto's Rogers Centre or New York's Yankee Stadium. Current extraction
process of oil from oilsands is estimated to emit three times the global
warming emissions compared to conventional oil extraction & refining,
additionally rendering vast tailing ponds of sludge that threaten the
environment.

In the Calgary Herald article, Mr. Polczer writes, "But Kurt Neubauer,
president and founder of Houston-based Planet Resource Recovery Inc.,
thinks he has a magic bullet for solving the environmental problems of the
oilsands. Using a proprietary chemical catalyst, he claims to be able to
recover 99 per cent of the oil from sand without any greenhouse gas
emissions." For the complete article visit
